The knee surgery is expected to keep the Chennai Super Kings star out of action for the next four months. Take a look at the former cricketers and well-wishers conveying their wishes to Suresh Raina:
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif hoped Raina will recover soon as he took to convey his wishes via Twitter.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wished him a speedy recovery and shared the details of the procedure alongside mentioning the time required for Raina to recover.

Tough call t make, says Suresh Raina
The 32-year-old left-hander had a niggling knee problem since last season and will require at least six weeks of intense rehabilitation for recovery, which effectively rules him out of the better part of India's domestic season, starting later this month.
"To be honest, a second knee surgery was a tough call to make because I knew it would put me off-action for a few months and I wasn't ready for it until a few weeks ago when the pain had gotten a bit much and I knew there was only one way out of this," Rain wrote in a post on his social media handle.
"I hope I'm up on my feet, on the field and ready to give my best very soon again," he added.
